Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of dispensing technology, and more particularly to a dispensing curing device. Background Technology

[0002] The tip holder cap of an electronic pen is a key structural component at the front end of the pen, typically secured to the tip holder via adhesive dispensing. Currently, electronic pen production generally relies on manual dispensing. Operators hold the product and apply the adhesive, which is then cured by ultraviolet light. Manual dispensing makes it difficult to ensure consistent dispensing results across different products, and it is also inefficient. Furthermore, manual work inevitably leads to missed dispensing and incomplete curing of the adhesive. These issues can negatively impact the quality of the finished electronic pen and consequently, production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a dispensing and curing device.

[0004] The dispensing and curing equipment described in this embodiment of the utility model includes:

[0005] frame;

[0006] Mounting components are connected to the frame and have mounting structures for mounting workpieces; at least two mounting components are provided along a first direction and are spaced apart.

[0007] The light box has an opening and an inner cavity that are interconnected. There are two openings, which are located on opposite sides of the light box along the first direction. The light box is movably connected to the frame. Along the first direction, when the light box moves to a position where at least one of the mounting structures is located in the inner cavity, the other mounting structures are located outside the light box.

[0008] Optionally, the dispensing and curing equipment includes a controller, a position detector, and a locking mechanism;

[0009] The position detector and the locking mechanism are both electrically connected to the controller; the position detector is used to detect the position of the light box and send position data to the controller; when the light box moves to the position where at least one of the mounting structures is located in the inner cavity, the controller controls the locking mechanism to move and connects the locking mechanism to the light box.

[0010] Optionally, the dispensing and curing equipment further includes a timer;

[0011] The timer is electrically connected to the light box; when the light box is started, the timer is activated and begins timing; when the timer finishes timing, the light box is turned off.

[0012] Optionally, the frame includes a slide rail; the slide rail extends along the first direction; and the light box is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0013] Optionally, two position detectors are provided, and they are respectively located at both ends of the slide rail.

[0014] Optionally, the locking mechanism includes a first driving member and a locking member, and the light box has a locking hole;

[0015] The locking member is connected to the moving part of the first driving member. When the moving part of the first driving member moves, the locking member moves relative to the frame and inserts into the locking hole.

[0016] Optionally, the mounting assembly further includes a second drive component;

[0017] The second drive component is mounted on the frame, and the mounting structure is connected to the moving part of the second drive component in a transmission manner; when the moving part of the first drive component moves, the mounting structure rotates relative to the frame.

[0018] Optionally, the mounting structure includes a first part and a second part;

[0019] The first part is connected to the first driving member, the second part has a mounting cavity for mounting the workpiece, and the first part and the second part are detachably connected.

[0020] Optionally, the dispensing and curing equipment further includes a control switch;

[0021] The control switch is electrically connected to at least two of the second driving elements. When the control switch is in a first state, the moving part of the second driving element moves; when the control switch is in a second state, the moving part of the second driving element remains stationary.

[0022] Optionally, the light box includes a housing and a curing lamp;

[0023] The housing has a through groove that extends along a second direction, which intersects with the first direction; the curing lamp is connected to the through groove by fasteners.

[0024] In some implementations of this application, the dispensing and curing equipment includes a frame, a mounting assembly, and a light box. Both the mounting assembly and the light box are mounted on the frame. The mounting assembly has mounting structures for mounting workpieces, and at least two of these structures are spaced apart along a first direction. The light box is movably connected to the frame; when the light box moves along the first direction and at least one mounting structure is located within the cavity, the remaining mounting structures are located outside the light box.

[0025] Since the lightbox moves along the first direction until at least one mounting structure is inside the cavity, while the remaining mounting structures are outside the lightbox, technicians can simultaneously apply adhesive to the workpieces on the mounting structures outside the lightbox while the lightbox is curing the workpieces on some of the mounting structures. After the adhesive application is complete, the lightbox is moved so that the adhesive-applied workpieces are inside the lightbox for curing. Workpieces that have been cured inside the lightbox can be transferred to the next process, where technicians install a new batch of workpieces onto the vacated mounting structures and perform a new round of adhesive application simultaneously with the curing process.

[0026] Because the dispensing and curing processes are performed simultaneously on different mounting structures, technicians can handle at least two workpieces at the same time. This significantly improves the efficiency of both dispensing and curing processes, thus contributing to higher production efficiency for the final product.

[0036] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] The pen tip holder cap (also known as the tip retaining cap or tip protection cap) is a key structural component at the front of the electronic pen. Its main purpose is to secure and protect the pen tip assembly, while ensuring accurate interaction between the pen and the screen. Therefore, the stability of the pen tip holder cap directly affects the stability, accuracy, and durability of the electronic pen's writing performance.

[0038] In one type of existing electronic pen, the pen tip holder cover needs to be fixedly connected to the pen tip holder by dispensing adhesive. Specifically, during the dispensing operation, the operator first holds the workpiece to be glued. The workpiece to be glued includes assembled circuit boards, pen tip holders, pen tip holder covers, and other structures. The operator holds the dispensing needle, aligns the dispensing needle with the dispensing hole on the pen tip holder cover, and dispenses adhesive.

[0039] The adhesives used in dispensing operations are generally UV (Ultraviolet Rays) curing adhesives, also known as shadowless adhesives or photosensitive adhesives. UV curing adhesives are adhesives that must be cured by ultraviolet light irradiation. Under ultraviolet light, UV curing adhesives absorb ultraviolet light and generate active free radicals or cations, initiating monomer polymerization and cross-linking chemical reactions. This allows the UV curing adhesive to rapidly transform from a liquid to a solid state within seconds. Therefore, after dispensing, the operator needs to irradiate the workpiece with ultraviolet light to cure the adhesive.

[0040] Because both dispensing and curing operations are performed manually, operators can only process one workpiece at a time. This significantly slows down workpiece processing efficiency, consequently affecting the final product production efficiency. During dispensing, manual operation can lead to inconsistent dispensing results between different workpieces, and even instances of missed dispensing. Similarly, during curing, manual operation can result in inconsistent curing results between different workpieces, and even incomplete curing. This severely impacts the quality of the final product.

[0041] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a dispensing and curing device.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] refer to Figure 1 Embodiment 1 of this application provides a dispensing and curing device, specifically including a frame 1, a mounting assembly 2, and a light box 3.

[0044] The frame 1 serves as the mounting base for installing the light box 3 and the mounting components 2. In Embodiment 1 of this application, the specific shape of the frame 1 can be determined based on actual needs. For example, refer to... Figure 1 The frame 1 can be a cubic box structure. In this case, the frame 1 can be assembled from six plates, and the interior of the frame 1 has cavities that can accommodate other structures. Alternatively, the frame 1 can also be a platform structure composed of plates and supporting members, where multiple supporting members are installed on the side of the plates facing the ground, extending towards the ground. The frame 1 can also have other shapes, which will not be listed here.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 Mounting component 2 is connected to rack 1. The location of mounting component 2 on rack 1 depends on the actual needs. For example, when rack 1 is a cubic box structure, mounting component 2 can be located on the side of rack 1 facing away from the ground for easy access. The connection between mounting component 2 and rack 1 can be a non-detachable connection such as welding, bonding, or interference fit, or a detachable connection such as fastener connection or structural fit.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 The mounting assembly 2 has a mounting structure 21 for mounting the workpiece. In other words, the workpiece can be mounted on the mounting structure 21 of the mounting assembly 2 for dispensing operations. In Embodiment 1 of this application, the workpiece can specifically be a circuit board, pen tip holder, pen tip holder cover, or other structures that require dispensing, such as a rod and a shell assembled together. At least two mounting assemblies 2 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X to form at least two operating stations. The number of mounting assemblies 2 can specifically be two, three, four, or even more.

[0047] The light box 3 is used for curing the workpiece. When the adhesive used in the dispensing operation is a UV-curable adhesive, a corresponding ultraviolet irradiation device can be installed inside the light box 3 to cure the adhesive on the workpiece through ultraviolet irradiation. The light box 3 is movably connected to the frame 1, and the light box 3 has an opening 31a and an inner cavity 31b that communicate with each other. Generally, there are two openings 31a, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the light box 3 along the first direction X. The shape and size of the openings 31a and the inner cavity 31b can be set according to actual needs, and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] When the light box 3 moves relative to the frame 1 along the first direction X, the mounting structure 21 originally located outside the light box 3 can enter the inner cavity 31b of the light box 3 through the opening 31a, and the mounting structure 21 originally located inside the light box 3 can move out through the opening 31a. When at least one mounting structure 21 is located in the inner cavity 31b of the light box 3, the remaining mounting structures 21 are all located outside the light box 3. Since when the light box 3 moves along the first direction X and at least one mounting structure 21 is located in the inner cavity 31b, the remaining mounting structures 21 are all located outside the light box 3; therefore, while the light box 3 is performing a curing operation on some of the workpieces on the mounting structures 21, the technician can simultaneously perform a dispensing operation on the workpieces on the mounting structures 21 located outside the light box 3. After the dispensing operation is completed, the light box 3 is moved so that the dispensed workpieces enter the light box 3 and begin the curing operation. The workpieces that have been cured inside the light box 3 can be transferred to the next process, and the technician installs a new batch of workpieces onto the vacated mounting structures 21 and performs a new round of dispensing operation simultaneously with the curing operation.

[0049] Since the dispensing and curing operations are performed simultaneously on different mounting structures 21, technicians can handle at least two workpieces at the same time. This significantly improves the efficiency of both dispensing and curing operations, thus contributing to increased production efficiency of the final product. Furthermore, technicians do not need to hold the workpiece during dispensing, simplifying the dispensing process and increasing efficiency. This also helps reduce the impact of manual handling on the dispensing effect, ensuring consistency and reliability of the dispensing results.

[0050] For example, four mounting components 2 can be arranged along the first direction X. When the light box 3 is in the first position, the mounting structures 21 of two mounting components 2 are located in the inner cavity 31b of the light box 3, and the mounting structures 21 of the other two mounting components 2 are located outside the light box 3. When the light box 3 moves to the second position along the first direction X, the two mounting structures 21 that were originally located in the inner cavity 31b of the light box 3 are now outside the light box 3, and the two mounting structures 21 that were originally located outside the light box 3 are now inside the inner cavity 31b of the light box 3. During the initial operation, the light box 3 can be in the first position, and then two workpieces can be installed on the two mounting structures 21 outside the light box 3 respectively and glue application can be performed. After the glue application is completed, the light box 3 can be moved to the second position, so that the two mounting structures 21 with workpieces are in the inner cavity 31b of the light box 3. The light box 3 is turned on, so that the glue on the workpieces cures under light. Simultaneously, the two workpieces are installed on the two mounting structures 21 outside the light box 3 respectively and glue application can be performed. After the second round of dispensing is completed, the light box 3 is moved to the first position, allowing the dispensed workpieces to enter the light box 3 and begin the curing process. Workpieces that have completed curing in the light box 3 are transferred to the next process. Technicians install a new batch of workpieces onto the vacated mounting structure 21 and perform a new round of dispensing simultaneously with the curing process.

[0051] Alternatively, three mounting components 2 can be arranged along the first direction X. When the light box 3 is in the first position, the mounting structure 21 of one mounting component 2 is located inside the cavity 31b of the light box 3, and the mounting structures 21 of the other two mounting components 2 are located outside the light box 3. When the light box 3 moves to the second position along the first direction X, the mounting structure 21 that was originally located inside the cavity 31b of the light box 3 is now outside the light box 3, and one of the two mounting structures 21 that was originally outside the light box 3 is now inside the cavity 31b of the light box 3. When the light box 3 moves to the second position along the first direction X, the other of the two mounting structures 21 that was originally outside the light box 3 is now inside the cavity 31b of the light box 3, and the remaining mounting structures 21 are now outside the light box 3. During the initial operation, the light box 3 can be in the first position, and then the two workpieces can be installed on the two mounting structures 21 outside the light box 3 respectively and glue can be applied. After the dispensing operation is completed, the light box 3 can be moved to the second position, so that the mounting structure 21 with the workpiece is located in the inner cavity 31b of the light box 3. The light box 3 is turned on, allowing the adhesive on the workpiece to cure under light. Simultaneously, a workpiece is installed on the mounting structure 21 originally located in the inner cavity 31b of the light box 3, and dispensing is performed. After the dispensing operation is completed, the light box 3 is moved to the third position, allowing another dispensed workpiece to enter the light box 3 and begin the curing operation. The workpiece that has been cured in the light box 3 is transferred to the next process. Technicians install the new workpiece onto the vacated mounting structure 21, and a new round of dispensing is performed simultaneously with the curing operation.

[0052] Alternatively, two mounting components 2 can be arranged along the first direction X. When the light box 3 is in the first position, the mounting structure 21 of one mounting component 2 is located inside the cavity 31b of the light box 3, and the mounting structure 21 of the other mounting component 2 is located outside the light box 3. When the light box 3 moves to the second position along the first direction X, the mounting structure 21 that was originally located inside the cavity 31b of the light box 3 is now outside the light box 3, and the mounting structure 21 that was originally located outside the light box 3 is now inside the cavity 31b of the light box 3. When the light box 3 moves to the second position along the first direction X, the mounting structure 21 that was originally located outside the light box 3 is now inside the cavity 31b of the light box 3, and the other mounting structure 21 is now outside the light box 3. During the initial operation, the light box 3 can be placed in the first position, and then a workpiece can be installed on the mounting structure 21 outside the light box 3 and glue can be applied. After the glue application is completed, the light box 3 can be moved to the second position so that the mounting structure 21 with the workpiece is located inside the cavity 31b of the light box 3. The light box 3 is activated, allowing the adhesive on the workpiece to cure under light. Simultaneously, a workpiece is installed on the mounting structure 21, which was originally located in the inner cavity 31b of the light box 3, and adhesive is applied. After the adhesive application is completed, the light box 3 can be moved to the first position, allowing another workpiece with adhesive to enter the light box 3 and begin the curing process. The workpiece that has already cured in the light box 3 is transferred to the next process. The technician installs the new workpiece onto the vacated mounting structure 21 and performs a new round of adhesive application simultaneously with the curing process.

[0053] It should be noted that the first direction X can be a straight line or a circular direction. When the first direction X is a straight line, the mounting structure 21 is arranged in a straight line along the first direction X, and the movement trajectory of the light box 3 is a straight line extending along the first direction X. When the first direction X is a circular direction, the mounting structure 21 is arranged in a circle along the first direction X, and the movement trajectory of the light box 3 is a circular trajectory extending along the first direction X. The circle formed by the arrangement of the mounting structure 21 is concentric with the circular trajectory of the light box 3.

[0054] Example 2:

[0055] Embodiment 2 of this application is a further improvement on the dispensing and curing equipment described in Embodiment 1 of this application. Compared with Embodiment 1 of this application, the dispensing and curing equipment described in Embodiment 2 of this application also has a frame 1, a mounting component 2, and a light box 3, and the structure and connection method of the frame 1, the mounting component 2, and the light box 3 are basically the same.

[0056] refer to Figure 2 In the second embodiment of this application, the dispensing and curing equipment may optionally include a controller 4, a position detector 5, and a locking mechanism 6.

[0057] Controller 4 is the device used to control the electronic components on the dispensing and curing equipment. Specifically, controller 4 can be a control unit integrated inside the dispensing and curing equipment, or it can be an industrial computer or a similar control device. Position detector 5 can be an infrared displacement sensor, a photoelectric sensor, a proximity switch, etc.

[0058] Both the position detector 5 and the locking mechanism 6 are electrically connected to the controller 4. The position detector 5 can detect the position of the light box 3 and send the position data of the light box 3 to the controller 4. When the light box 3 moves to the position where at least one mounting structure 21 is located in the inner cavity 31b, the controller 4 can control the locking mechanism 6 to move, so that the locking mechanism 6 is connected to the light box 3, ensuring that the light box 3 can be fixed in that position. This can prevent the light box 3 from being accidentally opened during the curing operation and prevent the light box 3 from being moved before the curing operation is completely completed, thus helping to ensure the full curing of the adhesive on the workpiece.

[0059] refer to Figure 2 Optionally, the dispensing and curing equipment also includes a timer 7 electrically connected to the light box 3. When the light box 3 is started, the timer 7 is activated and begins timing; when the timer 7 finishes timing, the light box 3 closes. The timer 7 ensures that the light box 3 can perform a sufficient curing operation, preventing premature termination of the curing process, thus ensuring that the adhesive on the workpiece is fully cured. Simultaneously, the timer 7 also helps ensure that the adhesive on different workpieces cures for the same amount of time within the light box 3, thereby ensuring that the adhesive on different workpieces has the same curing effect.

[0060] Specifically, the light box 3 can be equipped with a manual switch, and the timer 7 can be equipped with an alerting element, such as a digital display panel, a buzzer, or a warning light. During the curing operation, the operator activates the light box 3 via the manual switch, simultaneously triggering the timer 7 and starting the countdown. When the alerting element is a digital display panel, the operator can obtain the curing operation duration based on the timing information displayed on the panel. After the curing operation has reached the preset time, the technician manually turns off the light box 3, and the timer 7 stops counting. When the alerting element is a buzzer, if the curing operation has reached the preset time, the buzzer will sound an alarm to remind the technician to turn off the light box 3. When the alerting element is a warning light, if the curing operation has reached the preset time, the warning light can change from a constantly lit state to a constantly dim state, or from a dim state to a constantly lit state, or flash, or change color to remind the technician to turn off the light box 3.

[0061] Alternatively, the light box 3 can be equipped with an independent control unit, and the timer 7 is electrically connected to the independent control unit of the light box 3. When the light box 3 is started, the independent control unit of the light box 3 controls the timer 7 to start timing. After the curing operation has lasted for a preset time, the timer 7 sends a prompt signal to the independent control unit of the light box 3. The independent control unit of the light box 3 controls the light box 3 to automatically turn off, and at the same time controls the timer 7 to stop timing.

[0062] Alternatively, timer 7 and light box 3 can be simultaneously connected to controller 4. When light box 3 moves to the position where at least one mounting structure 21 is located in the inner cavity 31b, controller 4 can control the locking mechanism 6 to move, connecting the locking mechanism 6 to light box 3 to ensure that light box 3 is fixed in that position. Simultaneously, controller 4 controls light box 3 to start automatically and controls timer 7 to begin counting. After the curing operation has lasted for a preset time, timer 7 sends a prompt signal to controller 4. Controller 4 then controls light box 3 to automatically turn off and simultaneously controls timer 7 to stop counting.

[0063] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 Optionally, the frame 1 includes a slide rail 11. The slide rail 11 extends along a first direction X, and the light box 3 is slidably connected to the slide rail 11. In other words, the first direction X is a straight line, and the light box 3 can slide along the first direction X on the slide rail 11 to perform curing operations on workpieces on different mounting components 2. The slide rail 11 ensures that the light box 3 travels along a preset track, preventing the light box 3 from deviating during movement. At the same time, the slide rail 11 also helps to reduce the friction area of ​​the light box 3 relative to the frame 1 when it moves, thereby reducing friction. This facilitates the movement of the light box 3, speeds up its movement, and thus improves the efficiency of the curing operation.

[0064] In this application, the slide rail 11 can be a single rail, or two, three, four, or even more. When there are two or more slide rails 11, they are preferably spaced apart. The part on the light box 3 for connecting with the slide rail 11 and the main body of the light box 3 can be two structures that are fixedly connected to each other. This allows the part on the light box 3 for connecting with the slide rail 11 to be made separately using a material with a relatively low coefficient of friction, thereby further reducing the friction between the light box 3 and the slide rail 11.

[0065] refer to Figure 3Optionally, two position detectors 5 are provided, respectively located at both ends of the slide rail 11. This allows for position detection of the light box 3 from both sides along the first direction X, improving the accuracy of position detection. Specifically, in this embodiment, the position detector 5 can be a spring-loaded contact switch. When the light box 3 moves to the position that triggers one of the contact switches, the mounting structure 21 of part of the mounting assembly 2 is located inside the cavity 31b of the light box 3, while the remaining mounting structures 21 are located outside the light box 3. When the light box 3 moves to the position that triggers the other contact switch, the mounting structures 21 that were originally located outside the light box 3 enter the cavity 31b of the light box 3, while the mounting structures 21 that were originally located inside the light box 3 move out of the light box 3.

[0066] refer to Figure 5 Optionally, the locking mechanism 6 includes a first driving member 62 and a locking member 61. The first driving member 62 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and the locking member 61 is drivenly connected to the moving part of the first driving member 62. The light box 3 has a locking hole 31c. When the moving part of the first driving member 62 moves, the locking member 61 can move relative to the frame 1 and insert into the locking hole 31c to realize the connection between the locking mechanism 6 and the light box 3. This simplifies the locking mechanism 6 while ensuring a reliable locking effect.

[0067] Specifically, the first driving member 62 can be a cylinder, electric cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, etc., and the locking member 61 can be a pin fixedly connected to the moving part of the first driving member 62. When the moving part of the first driving member 62 extends, the locking member 61 can move relative to the frame 1 and insert into the locking hole 31c to realize the connection between the locking mechanism 6 and the light box 3. When the moving part of the first driving member 62 retracts, the locking member 61 can move relative to the frame 1 and exit the locking hole 31c to release the connection between the locking mechanism 6 and the light box 3. The first driving member 62 can also be a motor, hydraulic motor, pneumatic motor, etc., and the locking member 61 can be a threaded cylinder with internal threads, which is guided and connected to the frame 1. The moving part of the first driving member 62 is connected to a screw for transmission, and the screw is threadedly engaged with the threaded cylinder. When the moving part of the first driving member 62 rotates, the locking member 61 can move relative to the frame 1 and insert into the locking hole 31c to realize the connection between the locking mechanism 6 and the light box 3. When the moving part of the first driving member 62 rotates in the opposite direction, the locking member 61 can move relative to the frame 1 and exit the locking hole 31c to release the connection between the locking mechanism 6 and the light box 3.

[0068] Example 3:

[0069] Embodiment 3 of this application is a further improvement on the dispensing and curing equipment described in Embodiment 1 of this application. Compared with Embodiment 1 of this application, the dispensing and curing equipment described in Embodiment 3 of this application also has a frame 1, a mounting component 2, and a light box 3, and the structure and connection method of the frame 1, the mounting component 2, and the light box 3 are basically the same.

[0070] refer to Figure 6 Optionally, the mounting assembly 2 also includes a second drive member 22. The second drive member 22 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and the mounting structure 21 is connected to the moving part of the second drive member 22 via a transmission connection. When the moving part of the first drive member 62 moves, the mounting structure 21 can rotate relative to the frame 1. This rotation of the mounting structure 21 relative to the frame 1 can synchronously rotate the workpiece mounted on it. This facilitates dispensing operations at different circumferential positions on the workpiece, thus improving the efficiency of the dispensing operation. The second drive member 22 eliminates the need for manual rotation of the workpiece by the operator, reducing manual labor and further improving the efficiency of the dispensing operation.

[0071] The second drive component 22 can be selected from motors, hydraulic motors, pneumatic motors, etc. The mounting structure 21 can be fixedly connected to the moving part of the second drive component 22, or it can be connected through a transmission structure such as a gear set. The second drive component 22 is preferably connected to the frame 1 by fasteners.

[0072] refer to Figure 4 Optionally, the mounting structure 21 includes a first part 211 and a second part 212 that are detachably connected to each other. The first part 211 is drive-connected to the first drive member 62, and the second part 212 has a mounting cavity 2121 for mounting a workpiece. When the dimensions of the workpiece change, the second part 212 with a corresponding mounting cavity 2121 can be selected to mount the workpiece without changing the first part 211. By replacing the second part 212, the dispensing and curing equipment can be adapted to workpieces of various sizes, thus exhibiting good versatility.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first part 211 and the second part 212 can be connected by fasteners or by structural fitting. Specifically, the first part 211 can be provided with a mounting groove, and one end of the second part 212 can be provided with a mounting block. The mounting block is fitted into the mounting groove to achieve a detachable connection between the first part 211 and the second part 212.

[0074] refer to Figure 6Optionally, the dispensing and curing equipment also includes a control switch 8. The control switch 8 can be a knife switch or a push-button switch. The control switch 8 is electrically connected to at least two second actuators 22 simultaneously to control at least two second actuators 22. Specifically, the control switch 8 can be electrically connected to two second actuators 22 simultaneously, or to three second actuators 22 simultaneously, or even to more than one second actuator 22 simultaneously.

[0075] When the control switch 8 is in the first state, all the second drive members 22 electrically connected to the control switch 8 move to drive the mounting structure 21, which is driven by the second drive members 22, to rotate. When the control switch 8 is in the second state, all the second drive members 22 electrically connected to the control switch 8 remain stationary. The control switch 8 is electrically connected to at least two second drive members 22 simultaneously, and can control at least two second drive members 22 to rotate or remain stationary at the same time. When rotating the workpiece, the technician does not need to control each second drive member 22 individually, thus making it easier to rotate more than two workpieces. This helps to reduce the operation time of rotating more than two workpieces, thereby improving the efficiency of dispensing operations.

[0076] The number of control switches 8 can be one or more. For example, when there are four mounting components 2, the number of control switches 8 can be one, in which case the control switch 8 is electrically connected to the second drive unit 22 of all mounting components 2 simultaneously. The number of control switches 8 can also be two, in which case each control switch 8 is electrically connected to the second drive unit 22 of two mounting components 2 respectively. In this embodiment, the number of control switches 8 is determined by actual needs and will not be elaborated here.

[0077] Optionally, the light box 3 includes a housing 31 and a curing lamp 32. The housing 31 has a through groove 311 extending along a second direction Y. The second direction Y is different from the first direction X; they can be orthogonal or generally intersecting. Preferably, the first direction X and the second direction Y are orthogonal.

[0078] The curing lamp 32 is connected to the through groove 311 via fasteners. By changing the connection position of the fasteners in the through groove 311, the position of the curing lamp 32 in the second direction Y can be adjusted. This facilitates adjustment of the curing lamp 32's position, making it easy to adjust and ensuring the curing effect of the curing lamp 32 on the adhesive. When the adhesive is a UV-curable adhesive, the curing lamp 32 corresponds to an ultraviolet lamp. The enclosure 31 isolates the ultraviolet light inside to prevent harm to operators.

[0079] refer to Figure 6In this application, the curing lamp 32 includes a light-emitting part 321 and a mounting part 322. The light-emitting part 321 may specifically be an ultraviolet lamp tube, and the mounting part 322 may specifically be two block structures. The two block structures are connected together by fasteners, and the light-emitting part 321 is fixed between the two block structures. The mounting part 322 is connected to the through groove 311 of the housing 31 by fasteners. A single curing lamp 32, or two, three, or even more curing lamps 32, can be installed inside the lamp housing 3. For a single curing lamp 32, more than two light-emitting parts 321 can be installed inside it to provide more light.
